He WAS GREATLY MISTAKEN,
A Maryland Chemist ReckOned without
His Host.

HFS hA ViS liluslO vi TIC llldldIlal QlS-
tricts Of Maryland, near the city of
Washington, and am exposed to all the
dangerous influences of the impure air
and water of that region.
Being naturally of a strong consti-
tuition, / had frequently boosted that
no chills and fever or other malarious
complaint would ever trouble me.
This was my experience and the con-
dition in which l found myself six
months ago. l first noticed that l did
not feel SO sprightly and vigorous as
was my wont to do. felt tired and
enerated. Soon I noticed distinct
and distressing back ache would make
its appearance in the afternoon, in
creasing in severity if the exercise was
more than usually violent. Then a
stretchy feeling with profuse gaping
made Its appearance. Then my head,
always clear as a bell, would feel heavy
and l began to have headaches.
The cold stage was marked with chat
tering Of the teeth, severe rgors passed
over me, and no amount Of clothing
could keep me warm. The chill was
succeeded in turn by the fever, in which
seemed to be burning up, the con-
gestion in my head produced violent
pain in the frontal portion and heat
ed sensation Of the eyelids, with an in
describable aching Of the lower limbs.
Nausea and vomiting occurred with
severe retchings, and when the parox-
ysms passed off was thoroughly pros
trated by weakness that was felt in
every part OF me.
l drugged myself with quinine, and
obtained some relief But my respite
was of brief duration. l was now so
much reduced that could hardly walk
or stand upright. My disease soon
eliminated in a continued malarial fe-
yer which kept me closely confined for
about week. | became exceedingly
depressed and melancholy SO much so
that lost interest in my work, and,
indeed, scarcely cared what happened
to me.
During all this time, it must be I'M
derstood that l did not neglect medical
treatment. All the most powerful
remedies were tried, such as liquid ar
senate of potash, valeriante of iron,
mercury, bromide Of potassium, chic,
ride Of bismuth, chinoidine, chinchoni
dia, quinine and several others. AL
this did under the advice Of eminent
physicians.
1t was while I was in this deplorablt
condition that the claims made fol
Kaskine, the new quinine, as specific
for malaria, were first brought to my
attention. knew nothing of its value
to justify my having any confidence il
it, but as everything else had failed
deemed it my duty to try it, SO begar
its use, and its prompt and radical eff
fects were of the nature of arevelatior
to me. Many people may think tn,
statement scarcely credible, but it is
fact that after only few days use o
Kaskine all the leading symptoms il
my case were decidedly abated 0
ceased altogether; and in a few week
from the time l took the first dose
was cured.
This was about the first of JANUARY
and since then have experienced n
recurrence of the malarial symptom
in any form. A remedy of such e.
ceptional virtue for the cure of malari
ought to be commended and unive
sally made known, have therefor
urged it upon the attention of m
friends, several of whom have used
with like good results in every cas-
and it is with the greatest pleasul
and sincerity that l commend Kaskir
to sufferers from malaria everywhere
